Asterix Mani!

Thursday, February 21, 2013

I finally purchased myself some striping tape and decided to try a mani I've seen all over in the past few months! This is a spin of the laser mani, only instead of random stripes throughout my nail I made an asterix with the tape on each nail. It's different on every nail because I was going for an abstract uneven pattern.

I started with a base of Color Club Cosmic Fate, added three crisscrossing pieces of tape to each nail, making sure I had enough sticking off the edges to pull them off. I then applied Cult Nails Nevermore, peeled off the tape, and topped it with Seche Vite top coat once the black was dry. This was a really fast and simple design that ended up looking great, I just wish the holo of Cosmic Fate was more obvious.
